I've recently moved to the Crossett, AR area from Knoxville, TN. I would love to bend someone's ear a little before heading out. Some of the area's are a little confusing to me.

 

I've been fishing practically my entire life, seriously bass fishing since my late 20's. I'm 60 now. Not going to lie about it, I've mainly been a "River Rat" fishing for smallies although I have fished almost all East TN lakes. Especially those with large smallmouth bass populations.

I'm from west central Arkansas. Welcome to the natural state. Really don't know jack about the fishing down there. Probably not an abundance of smallmouth though.  Wish I could help you out. Good luck.
